Right next to the students, without a fence and therefore without protection, with nauseating smells of rotting animal carcasses impossible to ignore. It is the illegal dumpsite present within the Garibaldi Hotel Institute, on Vigna Murata street, denounced with a letter by the Forza Italia councilors of the VIII Municipality to the mayor Gualtieri. 'A very serious and no longer tolerable situation' explains the FI councilor Caterina Benetti, who sent, together with her party colleague, Matteo Bruno, a request for intervention to the mayor asking for the prompt reclamation of the area.
And to think that just a few days ago the Institute had received the visit of the Minister of Education Giuseppe Valditara. 'It is an absolutely unacceptable situation, as it represents a serious danger to the health and safety of hundreds of students who attend the school - reads the letter sent to Gualtieri -. The presence of a dump near an educational institution puts at risk the health of the students, the school staff and the residents of the area. In addition, abandoned buildings can constitute places of danger and encourage illegal behavior, further compromising the safety of the community'.

For the moment, Benetti clarifies 'We have not yet received a response from the mayor, but there is no more time. The situation is serious, in the area there are also two large dogs and some cats, which, fortunately, are cared for by a zoophilic guard. The dump is located in an open and unfenced space that everyone can access. It is essential to reclaim it immediately and secure it'.
The Municipality is aware of the presence of the dump. 'Even though it is not a municipal competence issue. I am in contact with the principal of the institute, with whom in the next few days I will have to inspect the area, where in the past there was an illegal riding school, in which a serious fire also broke out in 2014', tells the Councilor for the Environment, waste, care and enhancement of the Tiber and Almone, Claudio Mannarino: 'We hope that the area can soon be reclaimed and returned to the school'.
